TL;DR

This paper designs and simulates a high-traffic, cost-effective optical IP network for Kurdistan's academic institutions using DWDM technology, Prim's algorithm, and realistic campus data to optimize connectivity and performance.

Contribution

It introduces a novel network design for Kurdistan's academic region based on DWDM, optimized with Prim's algorithm and validated through detailed simulation.

Findings

Hub-based networks have longer response times than switch-based networks.

Simulation results show high traffic handling with acceptable delay and throughput.

The design achieves efficient connectivity with realistic campus data.

Abstract

Till now the academic institutes in Kurdistan region not connected via network with each other and with research centers worldwide, this paper suggests design an optical IP-Network for academic Kurdistan region based on DWDM (Dense wavelength Division Multiplexer) backbone. The design has been developed using minimum spanning tree between the main realistic locations for campuses in each province were calculated using Prim's algorithm in province level. This proposed network simulated using OPENT IT GURU, and then information was collected using GPS and GIS about the campuses (to obtain realistic locations) of each university in university level, finally unique design model was assumed for each campus in campus level. Simulation the proposed design shows results of delay, traffic sends, traffic receives; utility, performance (packet/second) and throughput are measured in the case of heavy load. Addition to that the hub based network has longer response time than the switch based network. Key words: IP-Network, OPNET, DWDM, Prim's algorithm, Intranet, GPS and GIS.
